I Fly IFR

Yogi said...: Joe, true, but "my OTG track follows roads" isn't a very useful acronym. :-); 1/03/2015 11:37 AM
Ole Phat Stu said...: My old friend Siggi would (also) follow canals, which was OK until we flew over Holland ;-); 1/03/2015 12:24 PM
Vannevar said...: I was working Departure Control one day, back a few decades when all the new technologies were coming out, and a GA pilot off a satellite field transmitted, "request TLAR direct destination".

Not knowing TLAR from LORAN or RNAV, I immediately said "approved". There was a moment of quiet radio and I finally said, "okay I got to ask what's TLAR"

Pilot responsed, "that looks about right". It was awesome.; 1/03/2015 2:22 PM
Comrade Misfit said...: Joe, that's parallax error.

(That's my story and I'm sticking to it.); 1/03/2015 6:13 PM
Old NFO said...: LOL, done that a few times too... :-); 1/03/2015 6:16 PM
Murphy's Law said...: LOLOL. Always been grateful for roads that go where I want to fly to...and water towers with town names on them for back in the pre-GPS days.; 1/03/2015 9:02 PM
DTWND said...: Many of my students (mostly younger techies) want to know if they can use their Ipads and GPS (I call it going pretty straight) on their cross-countries and checkrides. I tell them no, use a chart and look out the window! Sheeesh.; 1/04/2015 8:46 AM
Comrade Misfit said...: DTWND, that's why this airplane seems like a great idea.; 1/04/2015 10:08 AM
